Today, I overheard my dad's friend complaining to my dad that his new baby boy is a ginger. I continued listening, and heard my dad saying, "Yeah, there's nothing worse than having a ginger." I'm his daughter. I'm a ginger. FML

Meet the family

Today, I finally took the courage to introduce my ginger boyfriend to my family. It didn't go too well. My dad asked if he could call him "Ron Weasley" and my 13-year-old brother asked if he had a soul. Now I'm single again. FML

Today, I told my parents that I wanted to donate blood. My dad helpfully interjected, "Sorry, they don't accept blood from gingers." FML

Today, our class was focusing on discrimination, and our teacher asked us if anyone had ever felt discriminated against. I put my hand up to share a story, and my teacher immediately said, "It's because you're ginger, isn't it?" That's not what I was going to say. FML

Today, a guy in my class was talking about himself. He started his story with, "When I was little, I was a ginger." I replied without thinking, "Is that why you got put up for adoption?" Him being adopted was the actual story he wanted to tell. FML

Today, over a family dinner, my husband and I told everyone that I'm pregnant. My father frowned and said, "Again?", my 9-year-old daughter started crying, and her brother smirked and yelled, "Up the ass, no babies!" FML

Today, I got married. My dad wanted to see me before the ceremony in my dress. The dress I wore was not my usual kind of dress, strapless. The first thing my dad said, "Ginger! You've got boobs!" Not exactly the father-daughter moment I'd envisioned. FML

Today, one of my dad's work friends came over. As he was leaving, he complimented my dad on having three "strapping young boys." I informed him that I'm a girl, and I have a hormone imbalance that causes me to have a lot of hair and a deep voice. I guess my dress didn't give him a clue. FML

I've heard some peoople don't like gingers which I don't understand. It's just a hair color.

blah my comment got messed... 2) was have a ginger baby!! (: Gingers are gorgeous! Whats wrong with people ?? My sister has the beautiful porcelain pale skin, and freckles, sadly her hair is naturally dark chocolate brown! She looks amazing with red hair, EVERYONE calls her ginger!! As a compliment though :P Being tan is overrated. Only natural tans are nice, and to get them you expose yourself to skin cancer... so instead you have nasty fake looking tans that people go for Ew. Pale skin is natural and cannot be imitated! Its soo gorgeous! I would kill to be ginger... olive skin + brunette = fail. AND FRECKLES ARE GORGEOUS! Embrace your unique beauty!!!!!!

You don't have to say "I'm his daughter" when you already said that he's your dad.

Hey! Red hair is super pretty! I think there is a shade of red hair for everybody:) P.S. You should replace your dad's shampoo with red hair dye. LOL

1. Red hair is hot. On a guy, but especially so on a girl. 2. Freckles are cute. 3. Maybe they were joking, or you misheard them or something. 4. If they weren't joking, **** them and don't think any less of yourself.
